Slim Dusty - Lights On The Hill lyrics

Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-yeah It's a long straight road and the engine is deep I can't help thinkin' of a good night's sleep And the long long roads of my life were a callin' me These rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel My eyes full of sand from the way they feel And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me It's a long tough haul from a-way down south A man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth And a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be So it's down through the gears, she's a-startin' to pull The gauge on the tank is a-showin' they're full And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me There's rain on the road and I can feel the load start a-shiftin' In a dance Too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Ah-hah-hah-no The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time The song they sing is a part of my mind And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side I know they'll tell about the night I died In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me Hey! There's rain on the road and I can feel the load start a-shiftin' In a dance Too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Ah-hah-hah-no The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time The song they sing is a part of my mind And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side I know they'll tell about the night I died In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me
